@Batya - our project is registered and I have submitted for Pilot Credit 5, but it has not yet been approved. Am I correct in understanding that I cannot submit for Pilot Credit 6 until 5 is approved? And, will that be affected by the fact that the credits are closing today? thanks.

Hi Joanna You may submit for pilot credits 5 & 6 at the same time. Completing credit 5 is a prerequisite to earning credit 6, but they can be attempted at the same time. If you have already registered for both credits, then the date when you submit does not matter. You may submit through LEED Online to earn the credit when your project is ready to be reviewed, even if that is several months from now. Hope that helps.

I completed my submission for Pilot Credit 5 some weeks ago, but am now having difficulty accessing Pilot Credit 6 to upload documentation. Should I re-open (i.e. select "In Progress") IDc1.3 in order to access it?

To clarify, I think what is causing the confusion is that Pilot Credits 5 and 6 are grouped together on the pilot credit library project registration form. However, I don't see a way to submit the documentation for them separately. Thanks.

In my conversations with USGBC regarding Pilot Credit 5, I was told that I didn't have to attempt both the prerequisite and credit (PIc6) in order to be awarded a point. I was successful in this strategy and hope you can do the same.

Thanks John - that is useful to know. However, we were hoping to get one point each for both 5 and 6, so we would still like to submit docs for 6.

Joanna - you should be able to submit for each separately (for example, submit 1 under IDc1.1 and the other under IDc1.2). I know some projects have had difficulty doing this because of the way the form is built in LEED Online. So, if you are unable to submit each credit separately, upload all of the documentation under 1 ID credit, along with a narrative explaining the form problem, and that Credit 5 should earn 1 point under IDc1.X and Credit 6 should be 1 point under IDc1.Y.

Thank you Batya.
